The "cable" that extends the antenna has been previously broken off at the end and "shortened." OTOH, it could have been affixed to the motor by threading it too far through. These are just my guesses.

The antenna appears to have four sections, but only the top (narrowest) and bottom sections extend no matter how much effort is taken in cleaning and running the antenna up and down. I've even tried pulling on the top section as hard as I could while it was extending to see if I could help "unstick" the center two sections. Anybody got a clue? TIA. G. M.
